Hey, don't go to this place expecting a high-end boutique hotel!  I paid $24 for a private room with a small bathroom with "breakfast" included. My expectations weren't high. I've lived in China, Thailand, and now live in Arequipa. We've travelled a lot and stayed in many different types of places. I was heading back to Arequipa and just needed a place by the airport to sleep over until my flight the next day. That's the only reason you would stay here.

The room was tiny but spotless. The bed was a little hard but I slept like a rock. Pillows are never great in these places and this was no exception. I didn't lose any sleep over it. (is that a pun?) The shower was strong and hot. The wifi was not great but it worked well enough to Skype and do basic stuff. Wifi pretty much sucks everywhere I've lived and travelled in Peru!  Breakfast consisted of a fried egg with copious amounts of fresh buns. Coffee was instant as it usually is in these kinds of places.

Taxi from airport was 40 soles (about $12) with Taxi365, which you run into before you even exit into the arrivals area. Taxi back the next day from hostal was 20 soles. No problem with either one except it was a little difficult to find the hostal at 10:30pm. The driver finally just phoned the place to get them to come out so we could see which door it was.

I thought it was fine for $24 and only 5 minutes from the airport. It's strictly an overnight location. If you want something better and want to check out Lima, head to the city.

Good for overnight layover.

My Las Fresas experience started with an awful "official" taxi driver outside of the airport picking me up and going on about how dangerous this hostal is and that he can take me to a better one: The Principle. I kept saying "no gracias," but the driver just kept going on and on about The Principle and how dangerous it would be to stay at Las Fresas. The driver even went so far as to actually drive to The Principle against my wishes where again I had to firmly say "Please take me to Las Fresas." 

If you're thinking that's a one-time fluke, other previous reviews show this has been going on for years. Also, a second time I had to make a cab ride from the airport, again I was being pitched another hotel by a cab driver after telling him I already have a reservation elsewhere. This is not normal and the Lima airport should put a stop to this, but it apparently does nothing. 

About Las Fresas itself, the people who run it seem like genuinely kind and good-willed people. While the Callao neighborhood itself is not somewhere you may want to be in the middle of the night alone, once I was at the hostel itself, I never felt unsafe. Given the other limited options of secure accommodations near the airport, this is a good choice if you have a layover and you just need to spend a night somewhere. My room was clean. It had a really good cable or satelite system that had a lot of premium channels (and on some channels, you could adjust the audio from spanish into english). My room had its own bathroom. The hot water was never really hot, but adequately warm. The wifi was free and worked great. The downside is that this hostel is more for practical purposes only, as there are not many touristy activities around. There are several pharmacies within walking distance as well as a market and lots of little corner stores. 

Overall, very glad I chose this hostel over the one I was about to get scammed into. I think Las Fresas should get in contact with the airport management so that this practice from the taxi drivers can be punished.

near the airport and run by good people

If you are looking for an overnight stay near the airport in Lima, this is the place to stay. Quiet, clean and very economic.

It is five minutes by taxi and the the hotel offers a range of rooms with or without private bathrooms.
